I work at a high school, and we have an anime and manga club.
From Gene Luen Yang
I finished 'American Born Chinese' in 2005, so after that, I started actively researching the Boxer Rebellion.
To be able to write 'Superman,' to be able to work with the legendary artist who is John Romita Jr., I signed on as soon as I could.
Superman has been around for so long; he's been around for, what, eight decades now? And he goes through these different eras where different aspects of who he is get emphasized.
I minored in creative writing in college, and I've played with the idea of doing something more hybrid, but comics are my first love.
I love the interplay between words and pictures. I love the fact that in comics, your pictures are acting like words, presenting themselves to be read.
I think a lot of the things in my life that I become most passionate about, and most excited about, are all from comics.
In traditional Asian arts, the word and the picture always sit next to each other. I have an aunt, a Chinese brush painter, who told me that when you do a Chinese brush painting, you have to pair the image up with some poetry.
I'm a cartoonist. I write and draw comic books and graphic novels. I'm also a coder.
I majored in Computer Science at U.C. Berkeley and worked as a software developer for a couple of years. Then I taught high school computer science for over a decade and a half in Oakland, California.
